Lloyd's boombox V-163

[DustyK47]

Hello all!

I recently acquired a Lloyd's V-163 boombox that was my Mom's, who had it since new. (1979)

I'm wanting to get it cleaned up and working 100% so I can have it my collection.

However, it needs new belts and I haven't found any exact replacements out there.

Does anyone know a good equivalent to use?

Thank you in advance!

You can buy a pack of universal belts and find one that fits. It cheaper this way.

Here's a post on how to determine belt size needed:

Calculate belt length!

:-D If there is no belt reference chart available for a specific model this calculation can become handy. :yes: Actually I always calculated belt length by measuring the distance between the center of flywheel to the the center of the other drive pulley and measuring the diameter of both...

Some people also use string and mark it with a pen, then measure the distance between the two marks.

I would say most of the drive belts will be square and medium.

Hey bros' and sis'... For all you wondering about those funky belt size prefixes like: SCQ 5.3 and SQY 4.4 (which are btw, the exact belt sizes for the Sanyo M-GT7 "Dust & Splash-Proof" mini) here is a very simple explanation PM'd to me by the Fatdog himself. I had to share this with you guys...

If you get a pack of universal belts, make sure to find one that is snug, but not too tight. If the belt is too tight, it will cause the motor to work harder, which could burn up the motor.
